5 Years On, Here Are Fall Out Boy’s Biggest Moments Since Returning From Hiatus

Fall Out Boy returned from their hiatus in February of 2013, and our lives have been a lot more interesting ever since.

We're revisiting the biggest moments in their world over the five years from then to now, starting with...

2013FEBRUARY
After months of rumours, the band announced their return... and a new album, 'Save Rock And Roll'... and shows across the world.

Oh, and they dropped this as their comeback single:

"When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music," they commented. "It's why we started Fall Out Boy in the first place."

"This isn't a reunion because we never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us."

MARCH
In another huge month, the band dropped a video for'The Phoenix', revealed the 'Save Rock And Roll' artwork and graced the cover of Rock Sound.

APRIL
'Save Rock And Roll' finally arrived - nearly half a decade on from 'Folie à Deux' - and it sounded huge. Kinda like this:

The album opened at number 1 on the US Billboard Chart, and charted highly across the world. Plus, the band dropped a video for 'Young Volcanoes', as part of their evolving The Young Blood Chronicles series.

AUGUST
While taking 'Save Rock And Roll' across the planet, they returned to the Reading & Leeds mainstage and released another video, for 'The Mighty Fall'.

OCTOBER
Out of nowhere, FOB dropped their hardcore-influenced 'PAX AM Days' EP, which they'd recorded with Ryan Adams. Here it is:

Plus, the 'Just One Yesterday' video, featuring Foxes.

JANUARY
We discovered that the band would be heading across the states with Paramore for Monumentour and... yeah, it took us a while to calm down after that.

MAY
After a bunch more world touring (just casual, like), FOB unveiled the final part of The Young Blood Chronicles - and you can watch the whole thing here:

JUNE
They returned to the UK for Download Festival, then kicked off touring on Monumentour with Paramore and New Politics. Here's a taste of how huge that was.

SEPTEMBER
A new song, 'Centuries' arrived:

And Pete Wentz told us that he wanted the follow-up to 'Save Rock And Roll' to,"inspire kids to pick up guitars. I want us to be the biggest rock band on the planet."

OCTOBER
After some creative teasing (something they've always been big on) they dropped 'Immortals'...

And soon after, a dramatic video for 'Centuries'.

NOVEMBER
This was another hectic month. First, they remixed the Chicago Bulls theme song alongside Lupe Fiasco...

Then announced their new album 'American Beauty/American Psycho', alongside the title-track. You can relive the video here:

"It's like we combined 'Save Rock And Roll' and 'Pax Am Days', took it to the future and made a new idea out of it," Pete said, of the record.

DECEMBER
We all got an unforgettable Christmas present in the form of Brendon Urie's Drunk History of Fall Out Boy.

Incredible.

2015
JANUARY
The new album dropped, and divided opinion across the board... which was presumably kinda the idea.

Here's a reminder of how it sounded:

Once again it debuted at #1 on the US Billboard Chart, while also topping charts across the world.

Then, FOB teamed up with Wiz Khalifa for a remix of 'Uma Thurman', ahead of their The Boys Of Zummer tour beginning in June.

FEBRUARY
Remember that super-weird video for 'Irresistible', with the basketball tournament? Well, that arrived:

MARCH
The band inductedGreen Day into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, saying that, "no one else can do anything the way Green Day does..."

"Everything you guys do is punk rock in the sense that you’ve never gone the easy route, the obvious route, the safe route. You’ve never repeated yourselves, you’ve never done anything to please the suits."

Then, their 'Uma Thurman' video arrived:

JULY
To celebrate the ongoing The Boys Of Zummer tour, FOB collaborated with Wiz Khalifa on a remix of his 'Stayin Out All Night'. You can check that out here.

AUGUST
This was a month of surprising videos. First up was the band's cameo appearance in New Politics' 'West End Kids' battle royale:

Then, this... uh, surreal tour teaser:

And then, popping up in Steve Aoki's 'Back To Earth' video:

SEPTEMBER
At the MTV VMAs, FOB won Best Rock Video for 'Uma Thurman'. Big.

OCTOBER
After some huge UK arena shows, they announced a tour with PVRIS, and unveiled a video for a new version of 'Irresistible', featuring Demi Lovato. It had Doug The Pug in it.

Then, they released a version of 'I Wan'na Be Like You' from Disney's The Jungle Book and... well, just listen.
